About us
What We Do
RESCUING HORSES, PONIES & DONKEYS
Take a look at some of our favourite stories of success from the A.R.C.H. Rescue Centre. Every equine in our care becomes part of our family and it is always a heart-warming moment to see them rehomed.
REHOMING & FOSTERING
Once our horses and donkeys are fully rehabilitated, our main aim is to find them a forever home. We offer them for fostering or adoption depending on the status of their paperwork. There is an adoption procedure to be followed, but our work doesn’t end there. We do follow up checks on all our horses, ponies and donkeys.
VOLUNTARY SUPPORT
We can only have a limited number of equines at our Rescue Centre at any one time. In cases where we are not able to take over the care of an abused equine we will always try and help in other ways, i.e. by liaising with other rescue centres. Our charity is staffed by volunteers and we depend on fundraising activities and donations to carry on our work. Your support will mean a great deal.

She is affectionate and will make a friendly companion.
